Compaq AA-RHGWC-TE manual Managing the Fibre Channel Switches

3.Connect the Ethernet cable.

4.Connect the fiber-optic cables.

5.Connect power to the switch.

6.Turn on the power. The switch runs a series of power-on self test (POST) tests. The DS-DSGGC-AA has no power switch; power is applied when the unit is plugged in.

7.Set the switch IP address and subnet mask (see Section 6.5.1.2.2). You can also set the switch name if desired (see Section 6.5.1.2.5). The switch IP address and subnet mask must initially be set from the front panel, except for the DS-DSGGB-AA or DS-DSGGC-AA 8-port Fibre Channel switches. In this case you have to set the IP address from the PC or terminal. You must use a telnet session to set the switch name.

8.Reboot the switch to enable the change in IP address and subnet mask to take effect.

6.5.1.2 Managing the Fibre Channel Switches

You can manage the DS-DSGGA-AA, DS-DSGGA-AB, and DS-DSGGB-AB switches, and obtain switch status from the front panel, by making a telnet connection or by accessing the Web. The DS-DSGGB-AA and DS-DSGGC-AA Fibre Channel switches do not have a front panel, so you must use a telnet connection or use Web access.

Before you can make a telnet connection or access the switch via the Web, you must assign an IP address and subnet mask to the Ethernet connection using the front panel or from a PC or terminal (DS-DSGGB-AA and DS-DSGGC-AA). You may have to modify the DS-DSGGC-AA IP address from the default of 10.77.77.77.
